When I’m Not Around

on September 25, 2014

I often tell my kids that they are suppose to be obedient even when I’m not around. I asked my youngest daughter why doesn’t she like to listen to other people, and she replied; because their not my momma. I explained to her, they may not be me but they are in authority and it’s not nice or quite for kids to be disrespectful. She said, mom I know but they are just not you and I only want you telling me what to do.

I thought about that and and said to myself, this is how Christians act. We only want God to speak to us. We don’t want the pastor, the boss, our spouses or anyone else in authority telling us what to do. However, the bible tells us to obey those that have rule over you. So now, we no longer have the testimony, I’m grown and you don’t pay my bills so you can’t tell me what to do.

Because we can’t physically see Jesus, doesn’t mean we can act any kind of way. Because we think Jesus is not around, doesn’t mean we can say anything we want. We need to act right at all times, sadly when we act up outside of the church we bring that same behavior to the church, and have the nerve to say this church got problems. It’s because we keep misbehaving thinking God is not around.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
